I've recently got into Ubuntu, still learning using the terminal. I decided to try initiating the command-line on boot by editing boot commands to quiet splash text or quiet splash nomodeset only to find that neither works. I've tried starting the virtual terminal with CTRL + ALT + F(1-6) - again, with no success. Using the text line, I get a blank black screen on boot. Using the nomodeset line, I get a somewhat random color on my screen. CTRL + ALT + F(1-6) goes into a blank black screen as well, similar to the text boot. I've tried suggested fixes , however, with no success. Any help would be appreciated.
Regards
